There’s no reason either, just they will make them when they want to make them. Truly I could care less if I get the jeans at this point, I’d just like my money back.

Was that the place on Valencia a couple blocks up from the old Self Edge location? I remember them having a nice selection and seeming friendly enough, but the whole vibe being absolutely horrendous, all white and clean room feeling

I would at least call my credit card and explain it to them, see what happens. I just looked at their store policy and they say they issue a chargeback against chargebacks, which I’ve never seen before, and gives me some sort of feeling about a retailer that feels the need to state that.

Haven't posted in a while , give these a wash the other week 

 

 

 

No idea how long I've worn them , maybe like 3 years ? Past few summers I'm mainly in shorts 

 

Forgot to say, also nice to see you posting again! Can't believe my old jeans look awesome now mate. Haven't spoke for ages, hope you and yours are all well?

I'm still mainly in shorts too between May and September so can empathise.

Perhaps the anticipation was a significant reason for staying in shape all these years...🙂

[srudy]

Luckily @beautiful_FrEaK and @Talan yes! Whew! I’ve tried to stay the same or close to the same size.

A couple of photos of my 1946. The pair on the right have been washed more regularly.

Beauties!

Are the both the same size.. pair on the right look one size bigger / wider through the hip

Same size and fit – I think the way I’ve placed them makes the pair on the right appear wider 

[Double 0 Soul]

I bought a pair in size 32" followed by a pair in size 34" the 32 was always a bit snug, the 34 was always a bit loose..

I wondered if you'd done the same

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I would have thought same @Double 0 Soul, especially the way the whsiskers look make the left pair look tighter fitting and the right pair looser.

[oomslokop]

mustve been part of the deliberate imperfections the sizing inconsistencies

Just some update photo

Now

when i received from Dr. Ha ha still have long way to go

CSF-46s

[aho]

^I mean GOT DAMN, time to wrap up sufu, we've hit the peak 🙏

[scooby]

Snagged these 22501XX from @srudy last month, and by chance started wearing them on 5/01 day

I love this denim and lucked out on the fit - they fit me as good as anything else ever has

The cut is real good in contrast to the "22501" cut I had some years back - and at a tagged 34 they measure about 31" after a shrink

That's barely 1" larger post shrink than the tagged 28 waist "22501" (a different cut but 6 tagged sizes smaller...)

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but a WW2 501 jean under the same umbrella having such a massive disparity in sizing is... interesting! 

[silencejoe]

Have fun for the 22501xx scooby 😉

[scooby]

22501XX fit 

 

 

[scooby]

Been wearing these every day since 5/01

[yochrisahn]

how do i go about acquiring a pair of these?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Try the secondary market or go to Japan. 

Or try to get some Cushman which sometimes are made by Konaka-san

one day will make the trip to Japan.... any leads on which secondary market?

[Double 0 Soul]

I'm totally out of the loop with the brand so don't quote me on any of this.. i got my first pair before the hype kicked in just by emailing the store (Fortyniners) .. i got my second pair from Yahoo a few months later (they were a pair from the same run) for not very much ¥.

6 months later, CSF started an Insta account.. this was the chosen method for most folks to acquire their jeans but then the hype kicked in, Konaka-san was a one man production line, demand far outstripped supply and the jeans started to pop up on Yahoo for 100,000¥ and above.. CSF bacame a bit defensive of the brand and while trying to limit the reseller market, the jeans became even more difficult to obtain.

You're 9yrs too late to advantage of forum members moving on their sizing mistakes but like all hype brands (intentional or otherwise) after the peak usually comes the crash so just keep an eye on the auctions.. i've got no idea how one goes about buying new CSF in 2025
